Ingredients

Scale

For the Whipped Ricotta:

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) Full-Fat Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Sea Salt

For the Toast:

  • 4 slices of Bread (sourdough, country loaf, brioche, or whole wheat)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or Butter (for toasting)

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh Fruit (berries, peaches, figs, bananas)
  • Chopped Nuts (toasted almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios)
  • Extra Honey (for drizzling)
  • Sprinkle of Cinnamon or Nutmeg
  • Lemon Zest
  • Fresh Herbs (mint or basil)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Ricotta: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and smooth, incorporating air to transform the ricotta into a creamy, airy texture. Adjust sweetness or vanilla flavor as desired.
  2. Toast the Bread: Choose your toasting method: use a toaster to toast until golden brown; or preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), brush bread slices with olive oil or melted butter and bake 5-7 minutes flipping halfway; or heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil or butter and toast bread 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta evenly over each toasted bread slice, covering the entire surface for a rich, creamy bite every time.
  4. Add Toppings (Optional but Recommended): Personalize your toast with fresh berries and chopped almonds drizzled with honey, peach slices with cinnamon and pecans, fig slices with honey and pistachios, banana slices with walnuts and cinnamon, or simply lemon zest and fresh herbs like mint or basil for an herbaceous note.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the toast right away to savor the crisp texture of the bread combined with the fresh whipped ricotta. Toast may soften if allowed to sit too long.

Notes

  • Use whole milk, full-fat ricotta for the best creamy texture and flavor; avoid part-skim ricotta.
  • For vegan alternatives, substitute honey with agave nectar and use coconut oil instead of butter or olive oil for toasting.
  • Choose sturdy, thick-sliced bread to prevent sogginess under the ricotta.
  • Toast nuts beforehand to enhance their flavor and crunch.
  • Adjust sweetness and vanilla to taste when whipping ricotta.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture; leftovers can be refrigerated but toast may become soft.
